It is known that we can sometimes describe the representation theory of ``Hecke algebra'' by ``Lie theory''. Famous examples that involve the Lie theory of type $A^{(1)}_n$ are Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon's interpretation of Kleshchev's modular branching rule for the symmetric groups and Ariki's theorem generalizing Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon's conjecture for the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of type A.

Brundan and Kleshchev showed that some parts of the representation theory of the affine Hecke-Clifford superalgebras and its finite-dimensional ``cyclotomic'' quotients are controlled by the Lie theory of type $A^{(2)}_{2l}$ when the quantum parameter $q$ is a primitive $(2l+1)$-th root of unity. In this talk, we show that similar theorems hold when $q$ is a primitive $4l$-th root of unity by replacing the Lie theory of type $A^{(2)}_{2l}$ with that of type $D^{(2)}_{l}$.

Much is known for strictly convex interactions, which under rescaling behave much like the harmonic model. In particular the unicity of the ergodic component have been established by Funaki and Spohn, and the scaling limit to the gradient of the continuous gaussian free field by Naddaf and Spencer. The results are based on special analytical and probabilistic tools such as the Brascamp-Lieb inequality and the Hellfer-Sj\\"osstrand random walk representation. These techniques rely on the strict convexity of the interaction potential.

It is not easy to construct a finitely generated group with a fixed point property for non-positively curved spaces. However, if we randomly choose relators, then we can get examples of such groups. To show this, we need a criterion for deducing a fixed point property from a local property of a group. In this talk, we will introduce one such criterion, and our approach is via a scaling limit argument.

In this talk, we consider symplectic area of smooth maps from a Riemann surface with boundary on embedded Lagrangian mean curvature flow in Kahler-Einstein manifolds. As an application, we observe a relation between embedded Lagrangian mean curvature flow and Floer theory of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds in Kahler-Einstein manifolds; in this case non-trivial holomorphic discs turn out to be an obstruction to the existence of long time solution of the flow.

Partial Cauchy data for general second order elliptic operators in two dimensions

[ Abstract ]
We consider the problem of determining the coefficients of a first-order perturbation of the Laplacian in two dimensions by measuring the corresponding Cauchy data on an arbitrary open subset of the boundary. From this information we obtained a coupled PDE system of first order which the coefficients satisfy. As a corollary we show for the magnetic Schr"odinger equation that the magnetic field and the electric potential are uniquely determined by measuring the partial Cauchy data on an arbitrary part of the boundary. We also show that the coefficients of any real vector field perturbation of the Laplacian, the convection terms, are uniquely determined by their partial Cauchy data.

Let Y be an oriented closed 3-manifold and P be an SU(2)-bundle on Y. Under a certain condition, instanton Floer homology for Y can be defined as the Morse homology of the Chern-Simons functional. The condition is that all flat connections on P are irreducible. When there is a reducible flat connection on P, instanton Floer homology is not defined in general.Since the fundamental group of a lens sapce is commutative, all flat connections on the lens space are reducible. In this talk I will introduce instanton Floer homology for lens spaces. I also show calculations for some lens spaces.

In this lecture, I'll discuss the notion of "Associated varieties for Representations of classical Lie super-algebras (joint work with Vera Serganova)" and the relation with the degree of atypicality. This is related to a conjecture of Kac and Wakimoto.

It is well known that the Feynman-Kac formula on the Euclidean space gives the solution of Schrodinger equation by the Wiener integral. We will discuss the Wiener measure and Feynman-Kac formula on the Heisenberg group. The results hold on the H-type groups.

Last year, I finished my course in Todai on "Rigide Geometry following M. Raynaud" by stating a GAGA theorem for the rigide-étale topology, due to Gabber and Fujiwara. I will give a new proof of this theorem, inspired by another theorem of Gabber, namely the Affine analog of the proper base change theorem.

We describe a phase separation in $R^{d+1}$ by an effective interface model with basis in $Z^d$ and height in $R$. We assume that the interaction potential depends only on the discrete gradient and that the a priori measure is the product Lebesgue measure. Note that this is an unbounded massless model with continuous symmetry and this implies that the interface is delocalized for the infinite model in lower lattice dimensions $d=1,2$. Instead of looking at the distribution of the height of the interface itself, we consider the measure on the height differences the so called gradient Gibbs measure, which exists in any dimensions. The gradient field must satisfy the loop condition, that is the sum of the gradient along any closed loop is zero, this implies a long range interaction with a slow decay of the correlations. We are interested in characterizing the ergodic components of this gradient field, in the decay of correlations, large deviations and continuous scaling limits. As an example we consider the harmonic or discrete gaussian free field with quadratic interactions.

We present a review of recent work on the statistical mechanics of nonequilibrium processes based on the analysis of large deviations properties of microscopic systems. Stochastic lattice gases are non trivial models of such phenomena and can be studied rigorously providing a source of challenging mathematical problems. In this way, some principles of wide validity have been obtained leading to interesting physical consequences.

We will discuss existence and uniqueness of solutions for a one dimensional parabolic evolution equation with a free boundary. This problem was introduced by J.-M. Lasry and P.-L. Lions as description of the dynamical formation of the price of a trading good. Short time existence and uniqueness is established by a contraction argument. Then we discuss the issue of global-in time-extension of the local solution which is intimately connected to the regularity of the free boundary. We also present numerical results.
